In this episode of Me, Myself, and AI, Casey B challenges the workplace myth that the best hires are the most outgoing, social, and familiar. Through research on cultural fit and the costs of homogenous teams, we uncover how organizations hurt themselves by choosing comfort over capability.

Casey highlights why shows like Netflix’s The Residence matter for representation. Uzo Aduba’s Detective Cordelia Cupp is brilliant, awkward, introverted—and exceptional. A character like this reminds us that excellence comes in many forms.

This episode is an invitation to rethink what talent looks like and to question who we overlook when we only hire those who feel familiar.
